JAERI has been developing a high temperature chemical heat pump, which can amplify thermal energy of the temperature 500°C to a maximum temperature above 1000°C as well as store mass hydrogen taking advantage of the metal-hydrode reaction. To testify the concept of this type of heat pump desingned, the heat pump element test facility are constructed to be tested its performance.
Present paper reports the resent research activities of the chemical heat pump system, including R&D on metal-hydride materials.
